SiniVII Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Thing is I follow the guide on how to create a custom CM partner to every point. However when I try to get near the area where my CM partner is placed, the game crashes halfway in the loading screen. Have anyone had it like this before or am I just doing something wrong?

SiniVII Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Okay I figured out I can't enter the same cell as my custom CM partner. But the issue is because I am using a custom RACE, it worked with a normal CM partner but I can't create CM partners with my own custom races... Does anybody know a way to create CM partners WITH Custom races too? Or has anybody encountered this problem before? One more question: IS THIS POSTED IN THE RIGHT SECTION OF THIS FORUM?!

BossDweebe Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 No help from the pros ?I haven't done a race mod but...Maybe you can download another CM compatible race modand examine that. Or modify the features in that mod to suit your taste. In the process you may find an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpenious Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 From the Custom Characters Readme: Using Custom Faces/Races 1. You will need to download TES4 Plugin Utility, Wrye Bash, or another utility that creates master files, that is, files with the esm extension. Use the utility to convert Ren’s Beauty esp for example (or another face/race mod) into an esm file. Let's call it Rens Beauty.esm.2. Open the TES Construction Set, select Oblivion.esm, CM Partners.esm, Rens Beauty.esm, CM Partners.esp, and make your custom NPC mod the active file. 3. Change the faces and save. 4. Now convert that Rens Beauty.esm to an esp. Use Wrye Bash to change your mod’s dependency from the esm to the esp. Then DISABLE the esm and ACTIVATE the esp. Should work now. I use the Mystic Elf race for my character, but used a stock race for my custom partner so I haven't used this. Half because I don't have Wrye Bash, and half because it's sounds a little complicated. Just follow the instructions as close as possible and it should be fine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would also apply for making custom NPCs for a shop that you would also want as a custom race?Because I've tried so many times to make a custom race work for a mod I'm making for myself to not have the custom race'd NPC NOT invisible.

SiniVII Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 Right, I followed the guide and all with TES Construction Set, but when I tried making my Custom partner mod the active file, I couldnt. I converted my mod into an ESM. And then it says: 2. Open the TES Construction Set, select Oblivion.esm, CM Partners.esm, Rens Beauty.esm, CM Partners.esp, and make your custom NPC mod the "active file." I can't make an ESM an active file so I can't do this step, or can I? O.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFact Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Just tick .esm file you want to make a master, then your plugin will use it. You can't activate .esm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpenious Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Right, the character you're making should be in an .esp file, but dependant on the others (Rens, CM, Oblivion). This is where I get confused though, you need to change Rens, or whatever character mod you want to use, to an esp file. Then change your mod to be dependant on that. I think that's where you went wrong, changed your file instead of the master file. I would make a backup of the master before you change anything though. If you still have trouble doing it, I will try it out and see if I can get one working. As far as making a merchant, the steps are outlined specifically for CM partners, but I assume simply making a character who is dependant on the master file should work. I'll see what happens when I try making a partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
